so true – yet hard to ignore the temptation
fara | 3/16/2008 | 9:22 pmi started subscribing to babycenter while trying to maintain supply for kakak after returning to work. and since then, the weekly newsletter and the articles at the site have helped me to keep remembering to breathe whenever i hit a snag with raising her (and now, anaqi)
i just came across this entry at babycenter blog >> ‘tired of supermom?’
it’s hard not to try and compare yourself with others. we’ve been brought up to compete – with our siblings, cousins, classmates and with the age of internet, people over the expanse of the ocean too - that even in parenting, you compare yourself with other moms.
24 hours a day should be enough to do what i currently do and then some more – there’s always that part of the house that could be more organised, dinners/lunches/breakfasts that could’ve been prepared at home (instead of the more-often-than-not quick stop at your friendly mamak).. yoga sequences that could be fitted into that 20-mins interval between anaqi’s last nursing and before i get ready for work
but in the end, who am i kidding?
from now…. live in day-tight compartments.. do what you can do for today – and let yesterday fade away and tomorrow bring it on!
